FAN MAIL FRIDAYS: My favorite Facial Wash (Spend VS. Save)


Happy Friday! I'm off to do something that's pretty close to my heart and it's acting. Hint: it's a movie! When I'm finally allowed to do so, I'll share what this movie is with you! :D

Alright! So today's FMF is from Sandra and she asks:

Hi Martha!
Can you share your favorite expensive/affordable facial wash products and why you love them? Thanks! I just discovered your blog and now I'm hooked!
Sandra

Hello Sandra!

Welcome to my blog! Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad you're a certified #TBJBeshie.

Ah, facial wash! One of my favorite skin care products. There's something so special about removing your makeup along with grime, dirt, and all the stressful moments of the day that's why a really good facial wash is important to me.

Here are 10 of my favorite facial wash products from P100+ to P1000+!


SPEND


WHY I LOVE IT: Lightweight, fun and interesting texture, low pH, and made with ingredients used in contact lens solution that's why it's gentle to the skin, but removes makeup thoroughly.

PRICE: P1,000+

WHY I LOVE IT: Beautiful lavender/peppercorn scent, functions as a makeup remover and facial wash, low pH.

PRICE: P300+ (local reseller price range)

WHY I LOVE IT: Super fun whipped texture, removes makeup thoroughly, doesn't dry out my skin. I know it's way up there in the pH scale, but heck, I don't care. :p

PRICE: P700.00+

WHY I LOVE IT: A mild cleanser that's great in combating acne. I use either this or Enzyme Cleansing Gel when breakout strikes.

PRICE: Starts at P200.00+ (small bottle)

WHY I LOVE IT: I don't know anyone who doesn't love this cleanser! I use Cetaphil when my skin is particularly sensitive or if I'm on a skin care transition mode wherein I don't want to use anything that's laden with whatever plant, food, or animal extracts to prepare my skin for a new batch of skin care products.

SAVE

PRICE: Around P200.00

WHY I LOVE IT: Smells good, functions both as a cleanser and exfoliator, leaves the skin feeling refreshed and real clean, but not squeaky clean.

2. ETUDE HOUSE HAPPY TEA TIME CLEANSING FOAM
PRICE: Around P130.00+

WHY I LOVE IT: Affordable, but works! P.S. The Cleansing Cream counterpart is low pH!

3. THE FACE SHOP HERB DAY FACIAL CLEANSERS
PRICE: Around P200.00+

WHY I LOVE IT: The Face Shop's version of Etude House's Happy Team Time cleansers. These are basic, foaming cleansers infused with fruit extracts to deliver various benefits. My favorite is Acerola!

PRICE: Starts at P145.00

WHY I LOVE IT: Light, soothing, great for oily combination oily/normal and oily/dry skin, and cleans thoroughly yet gently.

5. POND'S FACIAL WASH
PRICE: Starts at P15.00 (sachet)

WHY I LOVE IT: I don't know any woman who hasn't used Pond's facial wash as one of her first facial cleansers. This will forever be one of my staple beautifying facial cleansers! My favorite is Oxygenated Gel with Pearl Essence and Acne Care!

  4. I also find Celeteque gentle yet effective. I'm currently using Esfolio foam cleanser and my next target is Neutrogena Deep Clean cleanser. I also want to try that Etude House cleansing foam.
    By the way, i saw your IG stories! (I'm @jeylo_eighteen there) Ang bongga ng direktor ah! De-kalibre! Sana makasama mo sa movie yun mga friends mo. Saya siguro nun!

  5. Ooooh, these are very promising brands. I love using Pond's ever since high school. I tried switching it up for other cleansers but my skin broke out for MONTHS. My skin went back to normal after finding the specific Pond's variant I've been using before. Hiyang-hiyang lang talaga. I'm glad my skin's now okay. Still looking forward to try some of these!

  10. I want to try Cetaphil hehe and EH really has affordable products that deliver good results too. I've tried their Happy Essential Hyaluronic Acide Cleanser. High pH level but di naman ako nag break out haha. Currently using Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam. Super love it! Will try cleansers with low pH soon!

  12. I tried the Pixi cleanser, ang mahal mahal pero n break out ako so I decided to give it to my brother. Then I tried using Cleopatras Secret, I saw them on one of the bazaars in BGC, it worked for me, I used it for a year but I decided to stop using them because I feel like that obtaining them in bazaars is not practical I wanted a product that I can avail in groceries/drugstores - though my delivery siya ng products. Then I am using Human Nature products now, so far so good, no break outs whatsoever. And available siya sa supermarkets/drugstores and affordable too. I would love to try Mario Badescu and Cetaphil.
